Mise en scène refers to different technical elements used in
making a film such as lighting and sound, both of which you
have already analyzed in this course. The term also
encompasses the role of actors in a film, their physical
positioning and movements within the frame, as well as the
different styles and types of acting.
Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors) for
more information on this term.
You can classify an actor’s type using only one film as
reference, but these categories are subject to change. Each new
role helps to clarify or shift an actor’s designation. Using
specific examples from your chosen film, in your blog
Identify three actors from your film and classify each according
to the types of actors listed in your text.
Explain your reasons for classifying the actors as you do. Use
specific references to the film and pay special attention to how
these decisions impacted characterization. Also, consider the
impact of any realistic or stylized portrayals within the film.
Focus on one of the actors you’ve discussed. Based on other
films the actor has been in, would this actor always be placed in
the same category? If so, what does this say about the category
or actor? If not, what can you infer about the flexibility of these
categories? Provide evidence (references from other films,
including film clips and stills) to support your argument.
You must use at least two outside sources, in any combination
of embedded video clips, still photos, or scholarly sources. All
sources should be documented in APA style as outlined by the
Ashford Writing Center
